>but if the US goes to war it still has a chance
I don't see how. During the previous world wars, the US benefited from being geographicaly isolated from the conflict, getting to join later own, and enjoyed the post war benefit of having an intact industrial base while anyone that might contend with them had their country devastated. The UK was the world police back then. Now that the US is the hegemon, it's too deeply involved. The rest of the world won't destroy itself while America looks. On the economic side, China outshines the US on the one factor that matters on a prolonged conflict: industrial production. Chinese society is more cohesive and the Chinese government has a stronger control over it's own population. Even military, I don't see how Americans could win. The meta now is drone and missile spam, and China makes more of those while the US has been using its own stockpiles on Ukraine and Israel for the last 3 years.
